NVIDIA researchers have introduced Polar, a rollout framework that trains language agents using reinforcement learning without modifying their agent harnesses. Polar places a model API proxy between the harness and the inference server, capturing token-level interactions and reconstructing trainer-ready trajectories. Using GRPO on a Qwen3.5-4B base model, Polar improves SWE-Bench Verified pass@1 by 22.6 points under the Codex harness, 4.8 points under Claude Code, and 6.2 points under Pi. The framework is registered as a NeMo Gym environment and released under the ProRL Agent Server repository.
